Does the statement say we must believe that "tongues are essential for salvation?"

No.
There is a phenomena, an experience that was described with the phrase "... evidenced by speaking in other tongues" that the founder of the Apostolic Faith Movement, Charles Fox Parham, had defined. He never associated this with "essential for salvation," nor did anyone until G. T. Haywood's "Water & Spirit" doctrine began to take hold; and even then, not even Haywood said it was "essential for salvation."
Those are simple facts. Our good friend Kyle Stout and others who pursue the "Three Stepper Way" to the exclusion of other believers represent a teaching that began only in the 1920s. You can't even find anything close to this teaching from 1913 on back to the creation of the world.
